Why is my 9-month-old shaking his head randomly?

Various reasons: Odd movements in young children can be due to several things - may just enjoy the sensation to something more concerning. Video the behavior and make appointment with your Pediatrician to review your concerns and to have a good exam to make sure it's not a symptom of something needing more attention.
